Flexible Curved Screen Will Play A More Important Role In The Future

According to HIS statistics show that in 2024 global shipments of electronic products to more than half of the products will be equipped with a flexible screen surface.

Flexible screen is now more than just a cutting-edge technology, and it will play a very important role in the future of mobile communications technology and products. According to HIS statistics show that in 2024 global shipments of electronic products to more than half of the products will be equipped with a flexible screen surface.

In this study, IHS, the future there will be many types of flexible curved screen in a dominant position on the market, including folded, curled and even stretch characteristics. In fact, by 2020 about 51% of the screen will have a flexible collapsible characteristics. And then continue to develop, the number of folding the display will begin to decrease, and a wider variety of curved screen appears.

These flexible displays what is a gimmick than practical, or really can bring us more benefits? In fact, under the leadership of a flexible or curved screen, we will see new types of smart phones, tablet PCs, smart clothes and even television. And now includes LG Flex, Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge and surface flexible screen TV is just the application of the most elementary stage, just the tip of the iceberg.

Folding, curling or stretching screen can bring more new forms and variations for the entire consumer electronics industry, including more flexible screen equipment, and even books that can be folded like a traditional e-reader or tablet . In fact, in addition to these everyday applications in the field of professional design, new types of curved screen will also bring greater application potential.

Currently, the benefits of using a flexible curved screen can bring include:

Thin: As curved screen capable without the use of glass panels, so this means that the product can be made thinner, and let the manufacturers have more space to play. In addition, the flexible screen will give body to bring more space to add other accessories or batteries;

Durability: The durability of the curved screen in fact much higher than the ordinary display, since the glass material of the Eagle's Nest and flexible material less susceptible to damage. At the same flexible material also means more buffer, will not make the product by accident broken or damaged by force;

Design inspiration: a flexible screen is now no longer a mystery, but more manufacturers can take advantage of this feature. For example, Stanford University have been studying transparent, flexible batteries, and Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology has developed a flexible RAM components;

New input methods: a flexible screen also will launch a new birth of input, such as to achieve more by bending or folding operation without additional user operation.
